As of this afternoon, there are even more holes in the team’s early season schedule. It was announced that the Blue Demons—not the Hoyas—will be joining the Butler Bulldogs in representing the Big East conference. Georgetown had originally been selected as one of 16 power-conference teams to participate in a Thanksgiving weekend tournament celebrating the 80th birthday of Nike founder Phil Knight.
ESPN Events has made team changes to PK80. DePaul will replace Georgetown in the PK80 presented by State Farm, and is slated to face Michigan State on Thursday, Nov. 23.
